'2-0 to Forest at half time here at Molineux, Wolves fluffed their chances but Forest haven't. Jamie, what does Rubin Amorim have to do to get 'United®' firing on all cylinders again and how well has Slot done at Anfield since taking over?'

we'd have to win pretty much all of our remaining games to have a chance. even then, it would leave us on 89 points, which isn't always enough. so yeah, probably less than a 1% chance of it happening.

 

this run has put us back in the mix for champions league though, as it will probably the top 5 that qualify this year. i'd say we have a top 4 first team but a midtable squad. if we can steer clear of injuries and add a player or two this month, we can get champions league football again.

 

This was from 3rd of January. I can't imagine it's changed significantly. Title is all but certainly going to end up at Anfield. Analysts still think Forest will drop off, but they haven't a particularly bad run of fixtures ahead of them.

Their worst run of games is coming up at the end of January through to early March. But even then, Bournemouth, Brighton and Fulham are all eminently beatable for a side that likes to play on the counter.

This season is pretty similar to the 15/16 season.

 

Two of the "big 6" having absolutely honking seasons and the other 4 having, by their standards, middling-to-poor point returns. A lot of stodge in the middle of the table. Some traditionally midtable sides having poor seasons. 

 

The surprise team that barely survived relegation in the previous season suddenly making a tilt to the top spot. And that team being reliant on a counter attack style that appears to be catching everyone off guard.

we’ve still got to play all the “big” sides away from home too so I think top 6 is a good season for us. Top 8 probably about par. Anything lower than that would be disappointing but would be mitigated by a cup win

Everyone except Eddie and Mad Dog. They caught on to them sharpish.

 

That said they’ll probably fucking batter us at home like they did last season :lol:

I'm gonna watch the Forest game this evening and try and make an active effort to convince myself that they're shit and will fall away.

 

 

Counter attack with pace from Elanga and CHO.

Hitting a big man (in the form of his life).

Support from willing runners (MGW, Anderson).

Dirty bastard in the middle.

Defensively resolute, with special mention to Murillo who is by far their best defender.

Consistent 11.

 

We showed the blueprint to beat them; Be physical in the middle of the park, peg back their fullbacks, 'professional' fouls to stop any counter attack, quick breaks of your own.

Yeah I don't doubt we can beat them but the rest of the league seems incredibly slow at responding to tactical shifts in other teams, or plotting how to deal with them. Almost like most of the people running football clubs aren't really that smart.

 

I would add to your list that prioritising an early goal would be significant - forces them to attack against a defending team and opens up potential for the quick breaks you mention.
